Barnwood<\/a> has appointed Kier’s former <\/span>operations director, <\/span>Ben Ramsay as its new managing director<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ramsay\u00a0will take over from Simon Carey who will become the Gloucester-based Barnwood Group\u2019s chief executive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barnwood Group has been established for more than 57 years and includes Barnwood Construction, Barnwood Shopfitting and Barnwood General Works (which undertakes specialist construction projects).<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben <\/span>Ramsay<\/span>\u00a0joins Barnwood following the company\u2019s recent completion of a raft of successful building projects<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As operations director for Kier Construction, Ramsay\u00a0led the team which built the Princess Anne Stand at Cheltenham Racecourse. He previously worked for Pearce Construction and Morgan Sindall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramsay\u00a0said: \u201cI am delighted to be joining Barnwood which is a great opportunity to support the company through its next stage of evolution. The Group has a strong reputation and I have always admired the building work it has done.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery business is built on reputation and that\u2019s what really appeals to me about Barnwood. Its customers and employees are at the heart of everything it does, and my challenge is to build on and strengthen that even further.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs I take over the leadership of Barnwood Construction\u2019s talented teams, I am committed to deliver it to the same, or even higher standards than before and look forward to broadening the portfolio of work undertaken by the Company.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramsay\u00a0will be spearheading a number of new construction projects, including the delivery of a \u00a320m contract with one of the UK\u2019s biggest business and science park developers, MEPC, to build 250,000 sq ft of high tech industrial units at Silverstone in Northamptonshire, and major project at Bishop\u2019s Cleeve in Cheltenham for Chancery Gate and Rivershill House, Cheltenham for Telereal Trillium. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside his new role of chief executive, Carey will focus on Barnwood Shopfitting where its teams are working on a range of retail and office interior fitout projects, including banks, building societies and gyms, alongside its regular work with well-known high street fashion brands such as H&M, Jigsaw and Anthropologie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carey added: \u201cThe construction industry is demanding and competitive. Barnwood has always focused on its future and with Ben\u2019s experience added to our already strong Board, we will continue to meet and exceed our client\u2019s expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I joined Barnwood in 2004 we were predominantly an industrial building contractor. Over the last 15 years, we have diversified considerably, and I am looking forward to working alongside Ben in leading the Group\u2019s next stage of growth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
